If there's one piece of advice new cooks should heed, it's to NEVER try new things when you're going to throw a get-together or cook for someone else. Like many, I learned the hard way.
True but when you are young and a relatively new married bride you are sure you can do almost anything to make your husband happy. Don't think she made daddy very happy that might, probably almost 90 years ago.

At least it was dead.

Default coffee and egg white

So yesterday I made a coffee and we had no Coffee-mate Nestle. I dont like hot coffee, so when its hot and ready, I always mix it in a bottle shaker with ice, since I like it cold. So since we had no coffee-mate Nestle I decided to add egg white instead. The taste was not the same, but it also was not bad. I tried it again today and I liked it. I use the coffee to wake up, energy. I just wanted to share this with you all since I learned so much here. I tired googling this and I found other recipes that included egg white and more items. Felt this might be good for someone trying to avoid the sweetener and at the same time drinking something good.


Also I dont know if this would work well drinking it hot, I mixed it in the bottle shaker with ice.

Here's another food show. "The Chef Show" streams on Netflix. Jon Favreau and chef Roy Choi. The first episode seemed a little boring, but it picks up after that. Lemon/butter pasta is one of my favorites, and I can't wait to try Chef Roy's version.

Do any of you watch a favorite YouTube food host?

I look in on YouTube when I am interested in buying a small electric appliance, mostly. I watched several “shows” before deciding to buy an Instant Pot, for instance.

Apparently there are people who do shows that have followings. I wonder if any here follow a certain presenter.

I’m a new big fan of Emmy Made in Japan (she’s actually Chinese American).

She eats stuff I would never eat, and some stuff I would like to eat, and sometimes tests gadgets, and sometimes makes weird retro recipes. She’s a beautiful lovely.

Default How do I handle this the next time we go to this restaurant?

We signed up for a restaurant's reward program which gives us a free meal on our birthday.

I don't know if I'm allowed to mention the name of this chain restaurant but I'm sure many are familiar with it. It's a place where they have teppan tables and you sit there with strangers while your food is cooked in front of you.

Several months ago we ate a branch of this restaurant and noticed that the chef didn't care about cross contamination. We watched him flip a piece of chicken and then immediately use the spatula without cleaning it to cut up zucchini. At the time, we said nothing. However, I did write to corporate HQ and gave them all the details. A few days later, the GM called me to discuss what had happened. He told me that they have sanitizing cloths and are supposed to clean off their spatulas to avoid cross contamination. I let him know that if they continue to not clean spatulas, they will someday end up sickening people. He agreed, apologized, said all the chefs had been trained. Also, he said he would deal with the offending chef.

He also mentioned that he previously had worked in the restaurant that is nearest to us. I told him we noticed cross contamination happen there once before.

So...on to my question. When we go there again, how do we handle this? I've considered on of the following options:

1) As soon as we get to the host station, let the person there know we want to talk to the manager on duty. We would then let him/her know of our previous experience and say we don't want a repeat of that.

2) Say nothing and get seated. If the chef cross contaminates the food, we would do one of the following:


A) Call the chef out in front of everybody at the table. My concern is that might not go over well with the diners at our table, Or;

B) The minute we notice any cross contamination, one of us would get up and find the manager.

What do you all recommend? Thank you for reading and thank you for your responses.

"What do you all recommend?"
if it bothered us as much as it did you, we would not go there again.
we would consider the money lost as food poisoning prevention.
